EITGHBORHOOGD WATCH

Upon completion of area #2 (indicated in para. #9), I will be
teft with approximately 400 books and these will be used for “over the
counter" dispersal aid Netghborhood Watch meetings. We have already’ issucd
approximately 1,500 books to residents at Bb. & E.'d homes, “over the counter"
enquiries and Neighborhood Watch meetings. These hooks have therefore been
spread over the entire Detachment area and when volunteers eventually cover
those houses there will be no need to issue a second bnok.

5. We therefore need 6,000 hooks and 12,000 decals as soon as
possible {f we are to stay abreast of. our comnitments.

é&. At this time there is funding needed from the community and
should we be delayed, it could jeopardize our propram for thls year.

7. It is emphasized that due to our method of implementation, the
Detachment area of approximately 100,000 people will be done by the end of
1977 and we will then be free to devote our energies towards speci£{c problem
areas ona “we'll engrave Lt for you" hasis.

&  ° Para. #4 indicates that apartments will be done after the single
family residents and we expect to handle them.in the manner that ta now being
used for mobfiie home parks. The manager: are contacted by me and apprised of
the program. They are then piven assistance in organizing, complete implemen-
tation of Neighborhood Watch, including the control of engravers. IT address
the residents at a general meeting and the manarers take it from there. They
then return the engravers with complete lists of those residents who partici-
pated (so far 100%) and decals are issued to them for distribution.

+] In addition to the 6,000 books and 12,000 decals needed to complrte
Port Coquitlam, wo also request an additional 18,000 hooks and 36,000 decals
for the District of Coquitlam. This number represents the minimum required
for the 11,000 single family homes, 5,000 apartments and 1,000 homes scattered
turclly in our area, The total printing costs is $5,000.00.

10. Any books not used (estimated 300 ~ 500) will be used in "newcomer"
contacts. .

ll. Cst. R. D, HAUKA of the Coquitlam Crime Prevention Unit will be
available to answer any questions that may arise or to clarify any particular
part of our program.

COQUITLAM DETACHMENT
Res Neighborhood Watch

Tho following Le a complete documentation of the Nefgh-
borhood Watch progrem in the Coquitlem Detachuent arsa.

2. In Novenber 1976, 5,000 books and 12,000 decele were
received by Crime Prevention Unit, Coquitlas. Due to public awareness
of the progrem and the nwserous requests for its inplenentation, it
van decided thet Port Coquitlam would be dena as quickly 2s possible.
The District of Coquitlea would ba dono afterwards.

3. The advantagee of tha sualler population (9,000 hanes)
and natural geographic boundaries make Port Coquitlaa ideal to ronttor,
easier to complete and should the program not continue, we would not
face the problems of. an area being “half done”. With the exporlence
gained and the publicity received, we could then turn our efforts to
the puch larger (20,000 hocee) District of Coquitias.

a In view of the much higher trensfent rate in spartcents,
these cre to be left to the end of the progren. Agetn, ahould funding
or recources run out, wo would have sdequately cesit with the longer-
term reafdents first by doing the single family units. Also, most
single fautly residents take vacations during the sumer months whereas
apartment dwallore (often fexilies without children) could be reachod
during these possibly ineffective summer ronths

5e Port Coquitlam wes divided into five natural sreas of
similsr size. The central end largect was designated ag #1. Thia is
the area south of Lincoln Ave., wast of Coast Heridian Rd., north of
the Lougheed Hvy. and east of the Coquitism River. while thie is the
largest of the {ive areca (1,600 hanes), it will be relatively easy to
monitor, te clearly defined and has a afgnificant crime rate,

6 Coquitlam Detachuent has the benefic of an excellent
group of Auxiliaries, numbering 45. As of 9 FEB 77 the Aurilferi{as
will be working the area called #1, Each will have approxtsately 40
hemes to do over @ suggested two week period. This has tvo advantages.
It allows the voluntecr to return to and “catch up" those homes found
unoccupled and therefore greatly lessens the need for advance publicity.
The Auxiliaries have boen organized and briefed and officially atart

on the 23 FEB 77. Soae will ctart earlier due to private coamitcents.
